A MILLION
POUNDS OF
ECUSTA PAPER
FOR BIBLES
TO ONE
CUSTOMER
$>
A million pounds is a lot of paper. It represents
almost 3% of Ecusta’s annual production.
Yet, the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society,
who purchased this paper from us, and for whom
it was specially developed, will convert it into
1.500.000 copies of the DeLuxe Edition of the
New World Translation of the Christian Greek
Scriptures in less than two years. These Bibles
will be distributed to the "four corners of the
earth” at the phenomenally low price of $1.50
per copy. What is more, some who cannot afford
this cost price get them free.
To appreciate fully how this is possible, you
would have to visit the headquarters of this So
ciety in Brooklyn, N. Y. It is entirely a non
political, non-profit, non-commercial, charitable,
religious corporation, devoted to Bible education.
In 1942, the Society succeeded in purchasing
plates of the complete King James Version of the
Bible, and since then has distributed upward of
900.000 copies. In 1944, it purchased the use of
the plates of the American Standard Version, and
304.000 copies have been printed and distributed.
In all, they have printed and distributed over
600,000,000 copies of various publications in
about 100 different languages since 1921.
The press room occupies one floor of the mod
ern plant on Adams Street in Brooklyn. Ecusta
paper is printed from rolls on two of the four
slower rotary presses (8000 impressions per
hour.) The two new presses print from rolls and
turn out finished magazines at the rate of 29,000
impressions per hour.
